iMPnovEMENr- IN STEAM-ENGINE coNDENsERs.

` The Schedule `rei'exl're. to in these Letters Illatentmlf` making p'art of the same.

i' Beit known that, HARRISON ANnERsON, of` the county of Peoria and State of Illinois, have invented l Ya new and-usefulApparatns for Gondensing Steam fol"Steam-Generators;` and I doherebydeclare that ,j theffollowng is a full, clear, and exact description of i the construction and `operation of the same, reference `being had to theannexed `drawings making a part of this specication, in whicl'i' Figure '1 is a perspective view. 4 Figure 2,21'. vertical section. `Figure 3, aplan,l l u.

In ,thesediagrams `like letters `refer to like parts.i l I` construct my condenser of two or more vertical sheet`iron,\closedat the top and bottom These cylinders are connected in pairs at thcirnpp'enA surfaces by the pipec `0,11 d, 85e.

Similar pipe s,`g f/ g,'&c., make a like connection i `between eachseries otpairs at the bottom ot' each cylinder, in such a manner that the steam to be con` densed makes the circuit of the' whole p. byentering1tl1einduction-pipe" a from `the .cxliaust-` i pipeand passingdown into the first cylinder, D, then out at the baseofxthe samejthroughthe pipe g, conynecting it` with `the adjoinil'lg cylinder, E, into the lat-Y l y ter,"and up through the same, `thence out at the pipe setof cylinders c c,'and so on continuously through the series.

Beneath one cylinder ofeach paiaof cylinders E E G is an extension, vertically, it i, of the conne'ctingpipes'y t/ g, &c., whichllead into the y pipe 7l., for

carrying olf 4thecoudensedsteam `togvt'he eductionp pipe, b, The latter pipe, b, is placed alittle below the level f of the pipes g `g` g,` for conducting tllefconflensed steam, in `order that the former pipe, bfmayY receive the condensed steaml by 'a natural tlhgaud also that the watcrmayvnot interfere 'with the passage of the *steam through the connecting-pipes from cylinderto `l`cylinder.l w i The wholeapparatus, now described, is set in a convenient tank, A, and so arranged that every side "of cach cylinder iswell submerged in cold Water.

The .perpendicular pipe j; communicating at the base of the cylinder D with the connecting-pipeg, is 'fitted with a valve, e, a little above the surface of the cylinders, where the Water (by the action of the steam in the cylinders) will be lthe warmest, carries off this Warm water, when required, for lche purpose of snp-- plying any deficiency of .condensed steam tothe` .the same by the same outlet whence the steam passes .to the adjoining cylinder, by and through the pipes t di, one being attached to one cylinder of each pair ot cylinders.

These pipes i i i are connected with and nun into the main conducting-pipe h, which conveys the condensed steam to the. eduction-pipe l), I

The advantages of this apparatus consist in First, theeiiciency, as there is no part of the cylinders which does not givea condensing surface.

vSecond, its cheap'ness andreadiness construction.

Third, the ease with which it may be cleansed. Fourth, (the non-liability to derangement. Whatl claim as my invention, and desire tol secure Aby Letters Patent,'is-`- t 'lhe combination Of a ,series of pairs ofcondensingcylinders, B, O, D, E, Rand G, constructed and arranged substantially as described.
